  • Arunachal Pradesh (West) (2) 17–25 October 2019 (8 Nights / 9 Days)
    Explore the Unknown: Arunachal Pradesh (West) (2) 17–25 October 2019 (8 nights / 9 days) Welcome to the Land of the Dawn-lit Mountains. A mass of densely forested, impossibly steep hills, and snow-capped peaks, Arunachal Pradesh is home to 26 indigenous tribes, from the Monpas of Tawang to the Apatanis of Ziro. Join us as we explore India’s wildest and least explored state, as it is popularly considered. But before we begin this adventure, we embark on a journey to the Kaziranga National Park. Situated in Assam, Kaziranga is one of the most popular wildlife holiday destinations in the country, home to over 2,000 one-horned rhinoceros, an endangered species. Declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1985, Kaziranga also has elephants, wild water buffaloes, and swamp deer, and not to forget the mighty Brahmaputra that flows through it. Following this, we begin our road trip through western Arunachal Pradesh. Much of the state remains beyond the reach of tourists, but certain areas are now slowly being opened to them. We will acquire government-issued Inner Line Permits, which will enable us to visit some of the rare gems of the not- much explored Indian state. We will drive first to Dirang and visit the orchid centre. A visit to a Monpa village is also on the cards. In Tawang we will spend time at the Madhuri Lake and the magnificent Tawang Monastery, the largest monastery in India and the second largest in the world, after the Potala Palace in Lhasa. Also visit the Urgelling Monastery, the birthplace of the 6th Dalai Lama, and the Ani Gompa, a nunnery.

It also examines the trend in tourist arrivals, travel choice and expenditure pattern of the tourists based on secondary and field survey data collected from randomly selected 200 Indian tourists. The data were analysed by using statistical tools such as percentage, compound annual growth rate, line graph and pie diagram. The study revealed that Tawang has huge potentials for ecotourism development owing to its location in Eastern Himalayan ranges. Its landscape is extremely fascinating with presence of numerous snow-capped peaks, passes and lakes, historical sites and cultural heritage. However, the tourists inflow in Tawang has been fluctuating and its share in total tourist arrivals in the State has declined over the years. The travel choice of tourists indicated that most of the tourists visited this destination in a group of families mainly to enjoy natural beauty. The expenditure pattern indicated that tourists spent greater proportion on accommodation, transportation and food and beverages. The main challenges of ecotourism development were identified as inaccessibility, inadequate recreational facilities, entry restrictions, climatic constraints and socio-political disturbances.

  • RESOLVING the SINO-INDIAN BORDER DISPUTE: Building
    RESOLVING THE SINO-INDIAN BORDER DISPUTE Building Confidence through Cooperative Monitoring Waheguru Pal Singh Sidhu and Jing-dong Yuan President Reagan’s famous adage “trust but verify” highlights a crucial element of the arms control process: the verification of treaty compliance so that implementation is both possible and worthwhile. During the cold war years, superpower arms control negotiations were replete with disagreement and compromise on the issue of verification in terms of both its scope and means. More recently, the multilateral negotiations on the Chemical Weapons Convention and the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) also demonstrated the salience of verification issues. Indeed, one of the reasons the U.S. Senate cited in rejecting the CTBT is that the treaty is unverifiable. To a significant extent then, verification has actually deter- mined and will likely continue to affect how arms control treaties and agree- ments are negotiated and whether they can be implemented. While analysts are largely right in pointing out the difficulties and chal- lenges the issue of verification poses to arms control, they may have missed an important development, namely that verification can also be designed and indeed has been carried out in a cooperative manner. This would mitigate at least partially the resistance to verification out of concerns over sovereignty, Waheguru Pal Singh Sidhu is an Associate at the International Peace Academy, New York, and Jing-dong Yuan is a Senior Research Associate at the Center for Nonproliferation Studies, Monterey Institute of International Studies, Monterey, California. The authors are grateful to the Cooperative Monitoring Center at the Sandia National Laboratories and the Institute for Public Policy at the University of New Mexico for their support of the research project upon which this article is based.
